Rei-chan picked up the extension phone on the wall.
Shou-oneesama? We have something urgent needing investigation. Yes. It’s Kenmochi house
Kouzuki SS is going to check it out?
I understand. Then, I will do my part too. Yes, thank you
Rei-chan puts down the receiver.
What is it?
Misuzu asks. Rei-chan.
Shou-oneesama has begun investigating Kenmochi house already. She’s sending an interim report now
She already started investigating?
Huh, you mean that there’s something suspicious with the Kenmochi house?
I asked.
When investigating the links of Kurama house, that also includes investigating Kurama Misato-sama’s fiance
Oh right.
Or should I say that it’s common to make investigations when it comes to the political and business circles and influential families
Kouzuki SS is a company that specializes in protecting the nobility of Japan.
Naturally, they’ll investigate Kenmochi house too.
Danna-sama, it’s just my impression but.
Misuzu said.
Kenmochi Yuugo-san isn’t a good man. He’s a man with a dry nature, speaking gently to a daughter whose family is about to collapse, even though she’s his fiance.
What?
That’s how Kenmochi-sama, the father is. He’s very strict when it comes to business
Yes, I remember him too
Rei-chan who has knowledge from the top elites said.
but, they’re engaged, and so when Kenmochi-sama speaks kindly to her.
Torii-san said. I interrupted her.
You must assume the worst at times like this
I told Torii-san.
If you think positively, you’ll miss a lot of things. The situation will only get worse. Assume every worst possible outcome in your head
Then, Misuzu.
Danna-sama. If that event happened last week, then he shouldn’t have known the harsh punishment Grandfather gave to the Kurama house
Yeah.
Jii-chan only announced the punishment for the Kurama house last night, during the party.
But, it’s widely known that Kurama house is denied help when they tried to ask for Kouzuki house’s help
If that Kenmochi guy is a bad guy.
Then, his treatment with Misato-san of the Kurama house, which is about to collapse.
Purposely calling her out to an unpopulated area, comforting her with kind words.
Does Kurama house have any utility value left?
That way of thinking is reasonable, Danna-sama
Misuzu nods.
wait, Misuzu-sama?
What is it, Mariko-san?
You’re overthinking it. Even if you look at the movement of banks, it would be impossible for Kurama house to recover
Torii-san said.
But there should be some underhanded trick here
Underhanded trick?
Torii-san makes a confused look.
Do you not get it Mariko-san? If Kenmochi house’s aim is the hidden assets of the Kurama house, then.
Misuzu said.
Then the amount of that fortune can be used to repay their debts
If Kurama house can save themselves, then.
Jii-chan can withdraw his punishment.
Kurama Misato-san won’t need to become a prostitute.
Or maybe, only Kenmochi house knows of such fortune and nobody in the Kurama clan noticed it
And so, they intend to take it away from the Kurama house secretly.
Reika-oneesama, please give us a summary of the report. Danna-sama
Misuzu looked at my face.
I know. I’ll talk to Kurama Misato-san and Arisu-san
They might know something.
Edie, Yomi, come with me
Okay
Got it
I’m going to need a genius observer and a mind reader for this.
Michi, stay here and guard the girls
I can’t entrust everything to Haiji alone yet. She’s not accustomed to this mansion yet.
Certainly
Michi replied.
Chapter 993. Noon Sunshine Three imprisoned young Ladies
Please wait!
Torii-san?
I’m coming with you. Also
Torii-san sends Jii-chan a glance, but.
Mariko-san, don’t mind him for now
Misuzu smiled.
Oh well. I think that Danna-sama’s okay bringing Mariko-san along, right?
Yeah, you can come with us, Torii-san. However, we’re the ones talking to Kurama-san. You’ll stay quiet
If Torii-san lets her emotions take over and talk to the Kurama sisters, it’ll become chaotic.
You might talk about the hidden assets of the Kurama house carelessly that it might give them false hopes. We should not talk about it until we confirm that it’s real
Especially Misato-san, the elder, she’s quite sensitive.
Once she finds out that as expected, there’s nothing, she might die from hopelessness.
I know that even if you don’t tell me
Torii-san got offended.
But you know, it’s Torii-san’s trait to speak some controversial statements because she can’t read the mood.
I’ll be watching her, Sensei
Yomi told me.
I see. Yomi can monitor her mind and just stop Torii-san when she’s about to say something unnecessary using the Miko power.
I think giving an order saying Don’t talk about that for now, won’t break Torii-san’s mind.
Anyway, let’s go
Misuzu said.
Ah, wait for a second
I finish the Hayashi rice and salad on my plate and drink water.
Ruriko, Yomi, Yoshiko-san, the food was delicious. Thanks for the meal. If there are any leftovers, I’ll eat them so save it
I told the girls who are in charge of cooking this lunch.
Yes. I’ll leave some for Nei-oneesama and Tsukiko-oneesama just in case, but in case the two hasn’t returned yet, then please consume them, Onii-sama
Nei and Tsukiko, are in the middle of altering Tendou Otome.
They probably ate lunch in that building already.
Minaho-neesan’s over there, and Shou-neechan’s probably in another building for Kouzuki SS, but still.
Minaho-neesan’s giving Tokuda-san a lecture as candidates for Black Forest’s prostitutes.
Shou-neechan’s got a job of checking out the movement of Kansai Yakuza.
Ruriko didn’t mention her name just now probably because Minaho-neesan called and said that she doesn’t need lunch.
We delivered the same meal to Katsuko-oneesama and them
Katsukiko-nee and the Anjou sisters also had Hayashi Rice for lunch.
What about the Kurama sisters?
I asked.
The intention is to bring them food later.
Oh, Ruriko prioritizes feeding our young group.
Once we’re done, she intends to deliver food to the Kurama sisters.
Everything’s prepared on that wagon over there
Oh, there are plates, a rice cooker, and a pot with Hayashi rice in there.
Then, I’ll bring it
Edie said and head to the wagon.
Ah, I know all of it
Yomi comes after Edie. Yomi was in charge of cooking too and so she prepared the wagon together with Ruriko.
Okay, then, let’s go
I stood up.
Huh, Papa? Another job?
Agnes noticed and called me out.
Yeah, I’m sorry that we can’t play but I still have a lot to do
I smiled at Agnes.
Look after Mao-chan, Haiji, Eri, and Rie, okay? Be kind to them
Mana-chan, Luna, and Koyomi-chan will help out, nobody will be lonely
Get along
Yes, desuno!
Yeah, just as Jii-chan mentioned earlier. Agnes is a flower.
A flower that only needs to be there and sparkle brightly.
Mana and Luna can help out with the minor details.
Darling, everything’s okay
Edie and Yomi are pushing the wagon.
Look after them. I’m entrusting it all to you
Jii-chan, who is in the same table as Ruriko and Yoshiko-san, looked at me and smiled.
We walk down the corridor for a while, then.
Mariko-san, as for earlier.
Misuzu speaks.
It is as you guessed, Grandfather knows something
Huh?
Oh, when Torii-san sent Jii-chan a look earlier.
She’s thinking of asking Jii-chan directly.
Grandfather was strangely talkative just now. At times like this, Grandfather is hiding something
Misuzu said.
Does that mean that Jii-chan knows about Kurama Misato-san’s fiance not abandoning her even though she’s in debt?
